The woman in yellow bodice with iron-red plug and colorful-flowered, white skirt. The farmer in a light blue jacket, light brown vest, and light yellow knee-length pants. Next to the tenant a leafy tree trunk and a basket of hay. The pedestal is decorated with purple and gold-rimmed, raised rocaille. Particularly beautiful shaping. Eisenrotes Rad, and C.
